In a triad, the dominant chord is typically the fifth chord of the scale. For example, in the key of C major, the dominant chord is G major, consisting of the notes G, B, and D. The dominant chord plays a crucial role in establishing tension that often resolves to the tonic chord, creating a sense of musical progression.

How is it that a song can use a major chord on the supertonic degree so that I have G F D and C major chords in the same song?
The major II chord (whose root is the supertonic) is actually a temporary modulation to the key of the Dominant, and is called a secondary dominant. Given your chords I'm assuming we are in C Major, which already has the major I, IV and V triads (the chords C, F and G). The two, three and six chords are normally all minor (IIm, IIIm and VIm or in C Major: Dm, Em and Am). In C Major, the minor two triad (IIm in jazz / ii in classical) consists of the notes D, F and A, but here the D major triad has an F# instead of the F natural as it's third. One of the things that happened to music when harmony became part of it, about five centuries ago, was the ability to change keys. The Baroque and Classical mentality was to present a theme in the home key and then at some point modulate to the dominant and subdominant or to the relative minor or tonic minor and then eventually modulate back to the home key. Over time, the idea of modulating to a different key has been modified to just "borrowing" a chord or two from another key. That's basically what's happening when you use a Major II chord. The raised F to F# in C Major is actually the proper Leading Tone of the key of G Major (it's "ti" note). If we were in the key of G major, that D triad (the V triad) would be the notes D, F# and A - the dominant chord. Notice also that G is the dominant of C major. So the D major triad in the key of C Major is the dominant of the dominant. We have temporarily modulated to the key of G major and used its dominant chord (the D major triad), which is usually followed by the G chord, making a proper V-I cadence in the key of G Major. The G chord is also the V chord in C Major and becomes the "pivot chord" to get back into the key of C Major. Because the modulation is so temporary, we don't usually perceive that we have gone to another key (even though we sort of did). The II Maj. Triad is frequently used in this manner as a secondary dominant and is notated as the V/V chord (read as "the five of five" chord - meaning the dominant chord of the dominant chord). That same II Major chord can also be "borrowed" out of a key's relative minor. If we go to the relative minor of C, we end up in A minor, which has a minor V chord in the natural minor - in this case the D minor triad. However, if we use the harmonic version of the scale this gives us a Major V triad (the notes D, F# and A). When a II major triad goes to the V chord it is being used as a secondary dominant. When it goes to a different chord it has been borrowed from another key, but in both cases it is notated as if it was a secondary dominant as in: I - VIm - V/V - V - I. As far as that goes, any chord in the scale can be approached by it's own secondary dominant: In C Major the A major triad would be the V/VI chord making a progression like: C - F - C - Em - E - Am - G - C possible, where E major is the secondary dominant of the Am (VIm) chord.
What note is a three note chord?
A three-note chord must be comprised of three different notes, and is also known as a triad.
What is the triad built on the fifth step of the scale is called?
The triad built on the fifth step of the scale is called the dominant triad. It consists of the root note, the major third, and the perfect fifth relative to the fifth scale degree. In a major scale, this triad is a major chord, while in a minor scale, it may be a dominant seventh chord when including the seventh note. The dominant triad plays a crucial role in establishing tension that resolves back to the tonic.
What is the difference between a C7 chord and a Cmaj7 chord?
The difference between a C7 chord and a Cmaj7 chord is that a C7 chord has a dominant 7th note (Bb) added to the C major triad (C-E-G), while a Cmaj7 chord has a major 7th note (B) added to the C major triad.

What are the notes of all dominant scales?
There is actually no such thing as a "dominant scale", however you can use the notes of a dominant 7th chord as a scale and that can begin on any note, the dominant 7th chord in C major is G7 and G7 uses all white keys (G, B, D and F), the structure of a dominant 7th chord is the major triad plus the flatted 7th.

Is the dominant triad always major?
Dominant triads, which are built on the fifth (or dominant) note of the scale, are (almost) always major - even when written in a minor key. This is because the middle note (which is the 7th note of the scale - known as the leading note) is always raised by a chromatic semitone.For example:The C major dominant triad is composed of the notes G, B, and D.The a minor dominant triad is composed of the notes E, G#, and B. Although there are no accidentals in the key signature of this scale, the 7th note is raised from G-natural to G# in order to make it a harmonic scale.That's not to say that minor dominant triads don't exist, because they do. They're just rare. You might be able to find a minor dominant triad in a situation where the dominant triad is played in conjunction with a descending melodic line (i.e. where the 6th and 7th notes of the scale aren't raised).
